First steps towards a new journey..

First off calm yourselves before crucifying me for the use of the word “fat”. I know what I am I am not curvy, I am past chubby, I am fat and my health reflects it. Like carrying my purse to the back of Walmart to buy a dvd was hell on my lungs.

Yeah I walk daily-ish. Yes I used to do the gym (sometimes) but it wasn't effective because I don’t know what the heck I am doing. I didn't sweat when I worked out, I pranced on a treadmill, huffed on a stair master, and used an arm machine with like zilch weight. Like I said super ineffective for any results.

So operation let’s not die because I live a horrible healthy and wellness life style went into effect two months ago.

Two months ago I started a clean eating adventure. I learned I did not drink enough water. Which isn't a big surprise since it was more common to see me with sweet tea in my glass than anything else. I didn't understand portion control, I am the woman who makes an eight pound lasagna.  I thought looking at this 21 day cleaning eating deal that i was going to starve and that I wasn't going to feel any different. However I did I felt my energy leveI change my face cleared up (score!) I lost a few inches. I was pretty damn excited. I will say I will never understand who thought the best idea on the planet was to pair sweet potato and ground turkey.

So I wanted more results vanity pushed me look for the second phase of a healthier lifestyle journey. Maybe you aren't supposed to say that, but it’s the truth. I want to get back into straight sizes and I would love a better selection on the clearance rack, at the outlets, on sales. I would love for my toes not to hurt when wearing my tall heels. Damn I miss my tall heels.

The second step was joining crossfit gym. I joined a month ago, and I am literally so glad that I made this invested in this lifestyle change. Its hard it is the hardest thing I have EVER done, but it is seriously the most awesome thing as well. I am not the fastest and I am not the strongest by any means. But let me tell you…( heh I just heard a very southern I TELL YOU WUT in my head) I can now go up and down my stairs I can walk around my backpack loaded and not be completely winded. I dropped a flippen size already guys like seriously I sat down in my fitting room and cried.

I am excited to continue this journey. More updates later.
